Have you seen our 'wikipedia' entry?

It's quite good:

That's rather nice who updates that?

http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/

Is looking very nice at the moment I just wish they would sort that old school forum out.  Shocked

There seems to be more on it every time I look. Think it was me who added this wonderful forum on the external links bit at the bottem several months ago, although I was pissed at the time and so...  it might have already been there / It got removed cos I did it wrong / I've made up the memory in my head.

Do have a vague memory of trying to work out how to spell 'lively' so it probably was me.

Still wouldn't consider them rivals!

It's Shrewsbury I'd consider main rivals next season.

hereford can't be our rivals, they don't even have a wikipedia page, unless someones just messed up the link.

Try clicking on phil king in the former players bit, I never new he was such an accomplished musician.

There doesn't appear to be anything about Jimmy Davis on there. Anyone wanna put together a couple of words about him?

'kin ell! Sam Allen was manager for 1,127 games :shock:  - That's some going. There should be a statue of him at the ground (if there isn't one already)

If Kingy had been around that long I would have slashed my wrists!

Be careful what you believe on Wikipedia. It's ok for general stuff but some of the items that purport to be academic are nothing but bollocks. That's the trouble when you allow absolutely anybody to put anything they want on there and there's nobody to reveiw it professionally.

I remember reading about it in The Times and I'd already been using the website for years.

Under the 10 things they research on wikipedia only a few were factually correct.

It's still great entertainment though and gives you ideas for further research

That's how I look at it as well. At least it gives you a starting point.

What was even more frightening was the fact that the Times Survey you refer to found Wikipedia to be no less accurate than Encyclopaedia Britannica. Just goes to show that if you want the fact about anything you need to get as close to the source as possible.

If you want the latest on Nuclear Physics, go to the latest research papers. If you want the latest on Swindon Town transfers, ask Dennis Wise!
